Question

3/5(s - 8) = 9

Answer 1

i am going to guess that this is
\[\frac{3}{5}(s-8)=9\] am i right?

Answer 2

yes!!!!

Answer 3

Can you help?

Answer 4

lets get rid of the \(\frac{3}{5}\) by multiplying both sides by the reciprocal

Answer 5

\[\frac{3}{5}(s-8)=9\iff x-8=9\times \frac{5}{3}\] so far so good ?

Answer 6

uh-huh!

Answer 7

the since \(9\times \frac{5}{3}=15\) we have
\[s-8=15\] which you can solve by adding \(8\) to both sides

Answer 8

s = 23, am I right? :D

Answer 9

yup

Answer 10

Yes!!! Thank you soo much!!!

Answer 11

yw
got any more you need help with, or is that enough?

Answer 12

actually, can you help me with one more question?

Answer 13

sure

Answer 14

5 + 2c/4 = 14

Answer 15

is it
\[\frac{5+2c}{4}=14\]?

Answer 16

no, it's \[5 + \frac{ 2c }{ 4 } = 14\]

Answer 17

help? :)

Answer 18

ok first subtract 5 from both sides

Answer 19

get
\[\frac{2c}{4}=14-5\]
\[\frac{2c}{4}=9\]

Answer 20

then maybe notice that \(\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}\) so what you really have is
\[\frac{c}{2}=9\] and you can solve for \(c\) by multiplying both sides by \(2\)

Answer 21

get
\[\frac{c}{2}=9\iff c=9\times 2=18\]

Answer 22

So the anwser 18?! :D

Answer 23

yes
